5.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to Ex/Im from a businessman, May 1, 2003

This review is from: Export Import (Paperback)

Zodl's book was one of many Ex/Im books I've looked at. His book is a quick read and one can easily finish it in one sitting. He has enough detail to give you an excellent overview of ExIm and also plenty of guidelines and pointers to strong resources. With this book, you should have enough to take your business into ExIm without much difficulty. You will have to learn more, or course, but Zodl gives you enough information to seek the right team and expert advice (many times free expert advice) and ask the correct questions. He also covers complex topics like NVOCCs, Shipper Export Declaration Forms, and other things that one should look out for when getting into this type of business. He writes with authority, common sense, and an easy style. He gives very practical advise and easily digestable advice on legal issues with ExIm and also plenty of examples of important documents you must use in the process.

A book worth the money, but since it is relatively short (170 pages), I would suggest borrowing it from a library and reading it while taking notes in a small notebook. That way you'll remember what you've learned and have an organized way of accessing it later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good. Makes a difficult subject clear., December 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Export Import (Paperback)

This is very well written, and explains how things actually work in international business. It explains the terminology and how to do the documents, and where to get the documents done for you (third party providers that you can hire). The chapter on Getting Paid is especially useful. The chapter on Terms of Sale explains how to avoid a lot of mistakes you could make really easily.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Information but not very comprehensive, October 8, 2003

By 

John E. Murray (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Export Import (Paperback)

This book provides some good information for anyone new to the area of import/export and small businesses, but it lacks the comprehension that can be found in other comparable books on this subject matter.
